System Integration: Issues and Answers
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are becoming mature
infrastructure in many organizations. Many firms are looking
beyond the internal business processes of their company and
extending their information systems to include systems in other
organizations. Linking these systems together is the objective of
the emerging field of Enterprise Integration through technologies
such as Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and more recently
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). This mini-track seeks to
explore issues, both academic and organizational, surrounding the
integration of Enterprise Systems and linking ERP systems to other
systems via EAI or SOA. Topics of special interest include the
following:
-
Implementation issues and concerns

Support (on-going and initial start-up) issues
-
